Well the new phone 4S has produced 1 million pre-orders in 24 hours surpassing the older mark of 600,000. Had they named it the iPhone 5 it probably would have sold 2 million. The media continues to out guess themselves every time Apple hints at a new product only to embarrass themselves. the phone has great features and is a hit already by the users. The media needs to step back and get a grip on themselves and be reporters, and journalists and stop playing soothsayer and then acting disappointed when their guesses are proven to be wrong. The pricing seems to be the same as the last model. I'm not eligible for a new phone at the AT&T price until February and will make a decision at that time. There is an update, iOS5 coming soon, and will add many features to the iPhone and the iPads.
